BATTERY FEATURES

RDX Series radios provide Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities that
defines the battery life.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RDX Series radio comes equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should
be fully charged before initial use to ensure
optimum capacity and performance.

Battery life is determined by several factors.
Among the more critical are the regular
overcharge of batteries and the average depth

RADIO OVERVIEW

of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the
greater the overcharge and the deeper the
average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery
will last. For example, a battery which is
overcharged and discharged 100% several
times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery
that receives less of an overcharge and is
discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery
which receives minimal overcharging and

averages only 25% discharge, lasts even
longer.

Motorola Solutions batteries are designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola
Solutions charger and vice versa. Charging in
non-Motorola Solutions equipment may lead to
battery damage and void the battery warranty.
The battery should be at about 77 °F (25 °C)
(room temperature), whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50 °F [10 °C])
may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a
hot battery (above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola Solutions
rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
batteries are charged within the temperature
limits stated above.

16

English

Battery Recycling and Disposal

Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas. Under various U.S. state
laws and the laws of several other countries,
batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola Solutions fully endorses and
encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In
the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions
participates in the nationwide Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)
program for Li-Ion battery collection and
recycling.

Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program. For the location of the drop-off facility
closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
site at:

http://www.call2recycle.org

or call:

[phone]

This internet site and telephone number also
provides other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses,
and governmental agencies.

Radio” on page 13.

TURNING RADIO ON/OFF

To turn ON the radio, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob
clockwise. The radio plays one of the following:

• Power up tone and channel number
announcement, or

• Battery level and channel number
announcements, or

• Silent (Audible tones disabled)

The LED blinks red briefly.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob

counterclockwise until you hear a ‘click’ and the radio
LED Indicator turns OFF.

ADJUSTING VOLUME

Turn the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise to increase
the volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the
volume.

Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear

when the volume is high or when adjusting
the volume

SELECTING A CHANNEL

To select a channel, turn the Channel Selector Knob
until you reach the desired channel. An audible voice
indicates the selected channel.

Each channel has its own Frequency, Interference
Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.

TALKING AND MONITORING

It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting
to avoid ‘talking over’ someone who is already
transmitting

To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*) button to
access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will
hear ‘static’. To release, press SB1 again. Once
channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by
pressing the PTT button. When transmitting, the LED
Indicator stays solid red.

Note:

• To listen to all activity on a current channel, short
press the SB1 to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0.
This feature is called ‘CTCSS/DPL Defeat
(Squelch set to SILENT)’.

• (*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed
for a different mode.

To establish a proper two-way communication, the
channel, frequency, and interference eliminator codes
must be the same on both radios. This depends on
the stored profile that has been preprogrammed on
the radio:

1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is

using, depending on radio model.

2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to

transmit/receive.

3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes

help minimize interference by providing a
choice of code combinations.

4. Scramble Code: Codes that make the

transmissions sound garbled to anyone
listening who is not set to that specific code.

5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable

channel spacing, which must match other
radios for optimum audio quality (Only
applicable to RDU4103).

For details on how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/
DPL codes in the channels, refer to “Advanced
Configuration Mode” on page 36.

www.motorolasolutions.com/RDX.

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION MODE

Advanced Configuration is a configuration mode that
allows the customization of additional features via the
radio’s front panel.

For non-display model radios, the navigation is guided
by an audible voice prompt.

When the radio is set to Advanced Configuration, you
are able to read and modify four features:

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

• Frequency Selection,

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL),

• Auto-Scan,

• Active Channels, and

• Enable/Disable/Program the Weather Channel

The Frequencies Select feature allows you to
choose frequencies from a pre-defined list.

The Interference Eliminator Code (CTCSS/ DPL)
helps minimize interference by providing you with a
choice of code combinations that filter out static,
noise, and unwanted messages.

The Auto-Scan feature allows you to set a particular
channel to automatically enable Scan each time you
switch to that channel.

The Active Channels feature allows you to increase
or decrease the amount of active channels (In the
range of maximum channels allowed).

The Weather Programming feature allows you to
alternate the channel function between 2 way radio
channel and weather channel. There are seven
received frequencies available for this feature.

Entering Advanced Configuration Mode

Note: Before configuring the features, make sure

your radio is set to the channel you wish to
program. You can do so before entering
Advanced Configuration Mode or at any
time during the Advanced Configuration
Mode by rotating the Channel Selector Knob
until you reach the desired channel.

To read or modify Frequencies, Codes, Auto- Scan,
Active Channels and Weather Channel set the radio
to ‘Advanced Configuration Mode’ by long pressing

36

English

both the PTT and the SB1 button simultaneously for 3
to 5 seconds while turning ON the radio until you hear
an audible voice saying “Programming Mode” and
“Channel Number”. The LED Indicator starts blinking a

PROGRAMMING MODE FAQ

I got distracted while programming and forgot which
feature I was programming. What should I do?

• Return to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode and start
over. You will not be able to return to
Programming Mode (the radio does not provide
further way to let you know the specific stage you
are at in the Programming Mode).

• Therefore you can:

• Long press the PTT button. The radio will

return to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode or,

• Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming
Mode again. (Refer to “Entering Advanced
Configuration Mode” on page 36 for more
information)

I am trying to program a frequency (or a code) value
but the radio would not do it. It rolled over and took me
back to value ‘0’.

• The radio disallows you to program any value
that is not available in the frequencies and codes
pool. For example, if you try to program code
220, the radio would not accept it as the
maximum value allowed is 219. Same goes for
the frequencies. Refer to the “Frequency and

38

English

Code Charts” on page 64 to make sure you are
programming a valid value.

I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but the
radio would not do it.

• The radio may be locked using the CPS to
disallow Front Panel Programming. To re- enable,
use the CPS.

I programmed the wrong value when I was
programming. How can I erase or re-program the
value?

If you programmed the wrong value, you can either:

• ‘Roll-over’ the radio. The radio ‘roll-over’ each

time it reaches the maximum value allowed.
Keep increasing (short press the SB1 button)
or decreasing (short press the SB2 button) until
you get the desired value or,

• Turn OFF the radio and start over.

I just programmed the value I wanted. How do I exit
the Programming Mode?

You can either:

• Long press the PTT button twice to exit if

you’re in the Programming Mode or,

• Long press the PTT button once if you are
already in the ‘Idle’ Programming mode.

I am done programming the features in this channel.
How do I program another channel?

• Short press the PTT button several times until
you hear “Channel Number”. Switch channel by
rotating the Channel Selector Knob. If you wish to
save the changes, make sure you are in the ‘Idle’
Programming Mode before switching the
channel, otherwise you will lose the changes
made.

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect
conversations. When the radio detects a transmission,
it stops scanning and goes to the active channel. This
allows you to listen and talk to people in that channel
without having to change channel manually. If there
are transmissions on another channel, you will not
hear that activity once the radio has stopped
scanning. Once the activity on transmitting channel
stops, the radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming
scan again.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

• To start scanning, press the SB1 or SB2
button.

Notes: Scan has to be programmed either to SB1

or SB2 button via CPS. SB2 is by default
Scan/Nuisance Channel delete button.

• To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2
button (programmed for scan) again.

• By pressing the PTT button while the radio is
scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel
which was previously selected before Scan is
activated. If no transmission occurs within 5
seconds, scanning resumes.

• If you want to scan a channel without the
Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL),
set the code settings for the channels to ‘0’ in
the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode

Notes: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED

Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.

WEATHER FEATURE (NOT FOR RDU4103)

The RDX radio weather mode can be programmed to
operate and receive weather channels that are
broadcast by the National Weather Radio (NWR). The
NWR system is a nationwide network of radio stations
(more than 1000 stations in United States) that
broadcast continuous weather information for the
public. The NWR broadcasts all types of weather
service warnings, watches, forecasts and other
hazard information. The NWR can also broadcast
non- weather alerts such as national security, natural,
environmental, and public safety in conjunctions with
the Emergency Alert System (EAS).

The RDX radio weather feature can detect weather
alerts/warnings that are broadcast by NWR. The
RDX+ radio can be programmed to detect the analog
tone or digital-over-audio protocol. The analog tone is
a 1050 Hz tone (Warning Alarm Tone), which is issued
for 10 seconds immediately before the warning
message by the NWR transmitter. When RDX radio
detects the Warning Alarm tone, it unmutes audio and

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

45

English

allows the user to hear the weather alert message. As
for digital-over- audio protocol, it is a newer
technology called Specific Area Message Encoding
(SAME) that allows weather radio to receive digital
data stream about the type of weather events, timing,
duration, and location. When RDX radio detects these
special warnings, the radio can be programmed to
automatically generate a loud tone, enable LED
indicator, and display “hazard” status on the display.
With the SAME technology, the RDX radio weather
mode can be programmed to detect the type of
weather warnings or watches for a specified the
county or counties.

Further information about the National Weather Radio
system such as network updates, transmitter
coverage maps, and SAME event codes can be found
on the Internet at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.

Weather Alert Mode

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Select the alert mode the radio will respond to alerts
sent from the National Weather Service, which
transmitted prior to the broadcast of any message
about a life or property threatening event.

Choices available are:

• OFF (Default): Disable the Weather Alert
Feature.

• Tone Alert: Detect the Warning Alarm Tone
(WAT).

• SAME Alert: Detect the Special Area Message
Encoding (SAME).

THE WEATHER ALERT HAS TWO MODES OF OPERATIONS:

7. In Weather Channel Mode, the radio is in a

muted state until it detects the WAT/SAME.
When the radio detects the WAT, the radio
unmutes and allows the user to hear the
weather alert message.

8. In two-way mode (on two-way channel),

Weather Alert feature becomes a special scan
feature. The radio scans between the current
selected two-way channel and the selected
weather channel. When the radio detects WAT/
SAME signal on the weather channel, the radio
unmutes to allow the user to listen the weather
message. For Tone Alert, the radio stays in
receiving mode until weather signal is weak or
user presses the PTT button or changes the
channel using the Channel Selector Knob. For
SAME alert, whether the radio stays in
receiving mode or switches back to two-way
mode depending on the setting of the EOM
Enabled.

Warning: RDX radio does not detect Weather Alert

while it is receiving or transmitting on a
two-way channel.

EOM Enabled

This feature is only available for SAME Alert mode
and it is only effective when the radio operates in two­way mode or Weather Channel mode. When checked
and in two-way mode, the radio switches back to two­way channel and continues to weather scan after it
receives end of message (EOM). For weather
channel, the radio mutes and continues to look for
new SAME alert after it receives EOM. When
unchecked, it stays in receiving mode until weather
signal is weak or user presses the PTT button or
changes the channel using the Channel Selector
Knob.

New Alert Tone Timer

Select a pre-defined time for a radio to play the new
alert tone. When a radio receives a new SAME alert

CLONING RADIOS

You can clone RDX Series radio profiles from one
Source radio to a Target radio by using any one of
these three methods:

• Using a Multi Unit Charger (MUC- optional
accessory),

• Using two Single Unit Chargers (SUC) and a
Radio-to-Radio cloning cable (optional
accessory),

• the CPS (free software download)

5. For the Source Radio, power ON the radio with

the following sequence:

• Long press the PTT button and SB2
simultaneously while turning the radio ON.

• Wait for 3 s before releasing the buttons until a
distinctive audible tone is heard.

6. Place the Source radio in its SUC, press and

release SB1.

7. After cloning is completed, the Source radio will

sound either a ‘pass’ tone (cloning was
successful) or a ‘fail’ tone (cloning process has
failed). The ‘pass’ tone sounds like a good key
‘chirp’ whereas the ‘fail’ tone sounds similar to a

‘bonk’ tone. If the Source radio is a display
model, it will either show ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ on the
display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds).

8. Once you have completed the cloning process,

turn the radios OFF and ON to exit ‘clone’
mode.

What To Do If Cloning Fails

The radio will emit an audible “bonk” indicating that
the cloning process has failed. In the event that the
cloning fails, perform each of the following steps
before attempting to start cloning process again:

1. Ensure that the batteries on both radios are fully

charged.

2. Check the cloning cable connection on both

SUCs.

3. Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on

the radio.

4. Ensure that there is no debris in the charging

tray or on the radio contacts.

chargez que les batteries rechargeables
agréées Motorola Solutions. Les batteries non
agréées pourraient exploser et causer des
blessures corporelles et autres dommages.

2. L'utilisation d'accessoires non recommandés

par Motorola Solutions pourrait occasionner
des risques d'incendie, de choc électrique ou
de blessure.

3. Afin de réduire la possibilité d'endommager la

fiche et le cordon d'alimentation, débranchez le
chargeur en tirant sur la fiche au lieu du cordon.

4. Il n'est pas recommandé d'utiliser une rallonge,
